Wow, you really want to ID that plant. It is a euphorbia with a cristate form.

If the plant size( That is individual leaf like organs ) is to be measured in One or two centimeters and the bullet shaped projections at the tip are of the size in one to four millimeters then it is a liverwort ( A relative of moss but does not look like it ) and most probably a type of Notothylas ( There are several of its kind ) .
These plants are prostrate on the ground ( always close to the ground ). The plant body is called Thallus .
It usually prefers moist and humid climate and dries out very soon . The white area that You have mentioned is , most probably , the drying part of the plant / thallus .
